Wash your hands before putting on the mask.

Hold the mask in your hand and place it firmly over your nose, mouth and chin.

Press the thin metal wire along the upper edge gently against the bridge of your nose so that the mask fits nicely on your face.

Select a N95 mask that fits you well. It is available in different adult sizes and models*.

First, stretch and position bottom band under your ears. Then, stretch and position top band high at the back of your head.

Perform a fit check by breathing in and out. While breathing out, check for air leakage around your face.

Elderly people, people with chronic lung disease, heart disease or stroke, and pregnant women should consult their doctor on the use of the N95 mask if they feel uncomfortable while breathing. N95 masks are not certified for use on children, so children should remain indoors as much as possible.*For instructions on how to wear different mask models:
